Also, don't forget that if you have a kitschy, kooky, and ooky event here (or near) the Pittsburgh area and want us to get the word out with ALL the details (a few weeks in advance please) and we'll do our best to spread the word. Until then...

Stay Smokin,

Scares That Care is led by horror film director and retired police officer Joe Ripple. This organization utilizes the fan base of the horror, haunt and Halloween genres to raise funds and awareness for sick children in need. Scares has a GREAT time holding benefits, by showing films, having silent auctions and maybe getting lucky enough to have a few celebrity appearances along the way.

To date, Scares That Care has raised a minimum of $10,000 for both the Johns Hopkins Children’s Cancer Center and The Kennedy-Krieger Institute! Now, The FIGHT Continues! For 2011 STC is raising money for the kids at the “Make-A-Wish” Foundation.
